Towards wearable active vision platforms
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes the design and construction of a wearable active vision platform which is able to achieve substantial decoupling of the camera motion from the wearer’s motion. Design issues in sensor placement, robot kinematics and their relation to wearability are discussed and the prototype platform’s performance is evaluated in a number of important visual tasks. The paper also discusses potential application scenarios for this kind of wearable visual robot.

VizWear-Active: Towards a Functionally-Distributed Architecture for Real-Time Visual Tracking and Context-Aware UI
VizWear-Active is a wearable active vision system for distributed computing environments. It consists of wearable and infrastructure-side modules that autonomously and cooperatively work together. The wearable-side modules include a wearable active camera module for actively acquiring information existing around the wearer in his/her daily life and a wristwatch UI module to provide a context-aw...
متن کاملWearable Vision Interfaces: towards Wearable Information Playing in Daily Life
Our objective is to realize wearable interfaces for expanding our information activities in daily life. To implement these interfaces, we employ vision-based systems, including a variety of camera, a head-mounted display and other visual devices. In this paper, we present two wearable vision interfaces; 1) object registration and retrieval and 2) virtual tablet input by fingertip drawing. In bo...

This demo showcases breakthrough results in the general field real-time simultaneous localisation and mapping (SLAM) using vision and in particular its vital role in enabling a wearable robot to assist its user. It accompanies the full paper by the same authors at ISMAR2003 [1]. In our approach, a wearable active vision system (“wearable robot”) is mounted at the shoulder. As the wearer moves a...
متن کاملApplying Active Vision and SLAM to Wearables
This paper reviews aspects of the design and construction of an active wearable camera, and describes progress in equipping it with visual processing for reactive tasks like orientation stabilisation, slaving from head movements, and 2D tracking. The paper goes on to describe a first application of frame-rate simultaneous localisation and mapping (SLAM) to the wearable camera. Though relevant f...
متن کاملVizWear: Toward Human-Centered Interaction through Wearable Vision and Visualization
In this paper, we discuss the development of wearable systems which we collectively term VizWear. Vision plays an important role in both people's and computers' understanding of contextual information, and the use of augmented reality (AR) techniques is a good way to show information intuitively. This is the basis of our research on wearable computer vision and visualization systems. Our wearab...
